Adding a Display To a View

TView itself makes no provision for displaying data–it has no pointer to a window, no graphics functions, no text display functions, and no keyboard handling.

To provide this functionality in your derived classes, use one of the following methods:

• Adding a pointer to an interface object in your derived view class
• Mixing TView with interface objects when deriving your new view class

Each of these methods has its advantages and drawbacks. Weigh the pros and cons of each approach before deciding how to build your view class.
